I received a Swedish letter I don’t understand

Steps

1. 1

   Find the sender and the deadline

   Look for the logo, beslut (decision), sista dag / senast (deadline), betala (pay) and överklaga (appeal).

2. 2

   Translate it

   A translation app’s camera function gives a rough meaning. Do not rely on it for legal details.

3. 3

   Ask the sender

   Authorities must help you and use an interpreter when needed. Call the number in the letter and ask for English or an interpreter.

4. 4

   Ask the community

   Ask in Pak Bridge Q&A — but never post personal numbers or case details publicly.
